Question: In this exercise we work with the Black- Scholes setting applied to foreign currency denominated assets. We will see a different use of Girsanov theorem.
dSt = (r ˆ’ f )Stdt + σStdWt
(a) Show that
Where Wt is aWiener process under probability P.
(b) Is the process

a martingale under measure P?
(c) Let Q be the probability

What does Girsanov theorem imply about the process, Wt ˆ’ σt, under Q?
(d) Show, using Ito formula, that
where Zt = 1/St.
(e) Under which probability is the process Ztert/eft a martingale?
(f) Can we say that Q is the arbitrage-free measure of the foreign economy?
